Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 13-month-old child with Neisseria meningitidis developed bilateral metastatic endophthalmitis. Treatment with systemic and periocular injections of penicillin G and steroids resulted in resolution of the meningitis and the endophthalmitis. This case should alert the pediatrician to the possibility of binding endophthalmitis in a patient with meningitis and ocular abnormalities. |
